Hindu Astrology further divides the zodiac in
another way. The 360 degrees of the zodiac is
divided into 27 Nakshatras or constellation having
an extent of 13 degrees 20 minutes each. A Nakshtra
is a group of stars and the name of the nakshatra
is based on one of the prominent identifying star
in the group. Nakshatras are combinations of stars.

In this picture Sun throws
its Rays to Earth but in a Rashi (denoted by
colored box) various Stars of a Nakshatra (yellow
colored stars in the picture) catch them and
totally changed its properties (shown by changing
color of arrows) So, the effect of Sun Rays
are modified and they changed broadly by Rashi
and minutely by Nakshatras. This is the same
position for various planets and even with Moon
(a satellite to Earth) and Rahu or Ketu (the
shadow planets). That’s why it is important
while reading a chart that we must study that
in which Nakshatra and in which charan (Part)
of Nakshatra a Planet is situated.

How
to use Astrology in Life

---------------------------------------------------------------

Astrologer is a consultant
as well as a counselor friend at every step
of life. After birth everyone have a destiny
to be followed. This destiny is unseen, and
unseen is frightening.
But Nature shows the unseen by various forms.
Astrology is one of them.

In Astrology an Astrologer
reads your horoscope, which is the picture of
planetary Harmonies on individual, and shows
the native right way to follow. Like a doctor
do in an ill health or a Lawyer do in Lawsuits
or a Charted Accountant do for a financial advice.
These Professional Advices can do their job
in their own circumstances. The difference in
these consultation and an Astrological Consultation
is, they advised you for a certain problems
in your life, but, an Astrologer consults that
how to be safe against these problems.

For example, a doctor advice
you to take bed rest in some health problems,
and he also advice you to take some medicines,
these are the remedial measures of bad health.
An Astrologer advice you to do remedial measures
before these problems start.

There are some problems which
never be diagnosed by any machine in the world.
Some allopathic medicines have their side effects
like painkillers, they cure the disease but
the root is not cured. In Astrology the planets
shows the good and bad effects on native by
birth, which were explained by an Astrologer.
They explained the remedial measures to cure
this too, like a doctor advised to a patient.
By doing this root of problem is cured.

The best use of this science
Astrology is that always advice a good Astrologer
before doing and taking any important decision
in your life, and in any problem of life never
hesitate to go for an Astrological advice.

An Astrologer has to work
as a psychiatrist sometimes. The Planetary position
in a horoscope shows him that what type of remedial
measures he should use to a particular native.
It could be Yantra, Mantra or any other type
of remedy. The treatment depends on the nature
(psychology) of the native for example a pious
native is fit for a treatment of Religious deeds,
Yantra or Mantra, because he/she had the power
of faith. But, an unbeliever will never follow
the religious paths so treatment for him is
different it could be a Gem or Mantra Anusthan
by a Well Learned Brahmin.

In some cases a highly spiritual
native will get relieved, by grace of God or
their Ishta Deva. But, in other cases the normal
remedial measures works, but with there own
limitations.
